Hi,

google search (bcopy mingw) showed this one:

http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=7959652
 or
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=2050128
(it's from 2002, though)

Probably it's worth looking at GNUWIN32:
http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/libgw32c.htm
-> bcopy

Not sure but perhaps it's better to move this question to the
'grass5' list.
